I've expired this.. the company looks so dodgy after further inspection. Reviews are absolutely dreadful on some websites and a comment on their own website confirms this is an imitation controller... "Ordered this controller from Dino Direct and was expecting a registered DualShock 4 controller. I received an imitation controller and was very unhappy. Please note that the vendor won't pay shipping if you have to send it back, and shipping items to China is very expensive from the US. You may be happy with this controller, but you get less than what you pay for in my opinion."

I saw this earlier, but was concerned that they weren't legitimate. They don't seem to have a top-down picture of the controller, which is a worry (they've sold knock-off DualShock 3 controllers in the past that replaced the logo on the PS button with something generic, which would have been a giveaway - so the fact that there's no photo of it here sets alarm bells ringing). I would pay a little extra and be sure of getting the real thing.

What should i get this, the advent tegra 7 or nexus 7 2012 from going abroad so need web and some gaming fun, web lag annoys me so it must be stable!

An should have mentioned I forked the extra £45 from Amazon on the basis it is UK based already, and having had a few JXDs in the part know they can be faulty as the QC is not up to scratch. They have 1 left In stock in the UK if you what to count your losses and file with PP for DD, they have a pretty awful rep.

I was going to PM some of you but as so many of you have it i thought id ask publicly.. I have just gotten mine today, any tips on setting up or which are the best emus? The one it came with has Chinese characters for options so I cannot save etc. Thanks so much!

Unless the user has an offline capable GPS app installed ,then they will probably be using Google Maps - which needs a data connection to work of course. ZTE , Huawei - amongst others are becoming household names here - these are China-Phones too ! IIRC the big electronics companies outsourced some of their production to China , as the costs there were far cheaper - the crafty chinese studied , copied and eventually manufactured their own versions of these products , thats why so many of those phones resemble Samsungs - iPhones etc.

Not sure about the GPS, it struggles to find my location off network (something I've never used before) it did place a grey dot near my present location (not sure if its working or not) maps didnt load until I switched 3G back on. Yes there is a slight camera lag but I had that with my other 8mp camera phone so I'm used to it. (no more than a second tho) When transferred over to the pc the pictures are clear but not perfect. Have only used it indoors but would imagine that better light would make a difference. I personally wouldn't bother going to the effort of printing. Perfectly fine for instagram, facebook, snapchat ect ect tho. Defiantly not a top notch 5mp but close.

Glad you got your phone all ok. :) How do you find the GPS, does the GPS work without having to have a Data connection or Wifi connection ? Just turn on the GPS function and leave Data and Wifi off. Also! does the camera have camera lag, does it take a photo instantly or do you have to hold the phone still for an extra 1-2 seconds for it to take photo, otherwise you get lag and photo is blurred ? Are the photo images clear once viewed back on PC, are the images good enough to print out ? Do you think the camera quality is a 5MP or are the images more like a 2MP ? Cheers! :)

All in Chinese! Any idea how to get out of it before I throw it in the bin?

pavel888

Received my phone today. Its nice looking ! But OS is not Android ! :(

Subzero1972

had a scroll excel tablet a couple of years ago which had ICS when it was new, it only had 512mb of ram which made the the tablet laggy as ... you know. if google says JB can run 512mb i WOULDN'T touch it with a barge pole.

I have used this website in past. Never had any problem. Oh yes one product they said out of stock and offered me voucher instead of money back.

Looking4Glitches

Obviously the Calculator, what kind of Alien technology is that?

Looking4Glitches

Weird that, because on Scamadviser This website has a good online reliability. This website has a good online trust rating. This website is deemed to be popular by Alexa with a ranking of 4812 But as I have never used them I can't really comment. I have only used Dealextreme and never had a prob with them.

Darn it - I've just bought 2 more PS3 controllers &amp; a new phone - stupidly without ordering together so I've paid twice for postage and missed out on using my $1 off voucher ffs - thats what I get for staying up so late!

There's loads of phones with similar specs. The Vowney is considerably (physically) bigger which makes it less attractive to me, maybe not to others. Also I believe no Gorilla glass on the Vowney, which again matters to me but maybe not to others. Lenovo A820 looks to be the bargain of the phones with this spec (~£100 delivered), but has a smaller (4.3") screen despite a bigger physical footprint than the Jaiyu. Horses for courses. The Jaiyu is also very well supported in terms of accessories and support (custom ROMs etc).

rattvanhalen

There's a vowney v5 on ebay with the same spec as this phone for 130, even supports 3g 900mhz. Why spend more?

lhassall

Hmmm, you're right. Mobile standards are a horrible mess though and China does use slightly different technologies which may mean your network rejects it. There's loads of stories of Chinese 3G phones not working here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G O2 and Vodafone have enabled 3G on 900MHz in the last couple of years (gives far better reception than 2100MHz, especially indoors) and I doubt any Chinese phone can take advantage of that.

z0d

Yes. On an ainol tablet with a 720p screen. Laggy awful mess

maxz

The best thing about this phone is its 3000 mah battery, personally I would recommend budget 5 inch from Huawei g700, only available in china but you can import it from merimobiles.

I remember reading that tablets were going to be big this year so ereaders will become less popular. But i found this neat piece of kit.http://ebookreaderworld.co.uk/sovos-svebk5b-colour-ebook-ereader-700-ebooks/ http://www.sovos.co.uk/products/portable/ereader.php I think John Lewis do them for £80. Can anyone advise me on this as i dont know what i am talking about......oh, and i am female. oO

whateveryouwant

X) I had been looking at the Sovos. The kindle doesnt have a back light as far as i know. The Sovos has got loads of uses, i am on the fence right now.

Not feeling the import tax's

ashleypride

A lot of a great stuff comes out of China, and a lot of cheap crap tat. This is tat.

forest2002

colour e-readers coming out in force this year. would be worth waiting for if this is your bag.

I think it's a legit company but it looks like the same set up as DX or Focalprice.

time4usall

Not voted but are they legit?

fanpages

You need to worry about customs charges more than Value Added Tax. (This deal may be better suited to HOTUSDeals.com in any respect; although I appreciate Worldwide Shipping is offered). The image on the merchant's site also seems to imply that the wireless technology is implemented using a "dongle"; if this is the case, the "Six Axis" (note: not "SIXAXIS") controller is not an official Sony product: [ http://www.dinodirect.com/SONY-PS3-Dual-Shock-Six-Axis-Wireless-Controller-Christmas-Gift-currency-GBP.html ] Plus, an official PS3 controller does not have a button labelled "P3" in the middle. If this is an unofficial controller you may find that connection by USB is not possible, certainly with the next revision of the official System Software (3.55) [due in a matter of weeks, if not days]. BFN, fp.

ollieh1

...Plus you'll end up with an unofficial controller. fanpages beat me to it. Oh, maybe he didn't. Think my browser is playing tricks on me.

Is that with the same seal as these? The underwater bags I've used have hard plastic / thumbscrew arrangement to lock the zip seal end tight. Looking at the fastening in the zoomed pictures of the product pages I found they didn't look so secure and they made no claims on the underwater depth they can be used at. http://www.dinodirect.com/digital-camera-waterproof-case-dry-bag-two-sealing-tape-ordinary-fs02.html?cur=GBP http://www.dinodirect.com/jiamei-waterproof-case-bag-three-sealing-tape-digital-camera-cell-phone-mp3-mp4-fs06.html?cur=GBP Some of the similar bags on the site do say the underwater depth they are rated for use but are more expensive at around £14 http://www.dinodirect.com/tteoobl-waterproof-case-digital-camera-wp-018.html?cur=GBP I guess any of them that say they're for underwater use would be OK in shallow water... As you say the bags with hard lens extensions like this one are best for zoom cameras (mine was around £10 delivered on eBay). You need to find a good fit if you don't want your lens to jam if the camera moves around in the bag (although with the bags I've used the plastic is 'rubbery' so the camera can't move too easily).

Winchy

I've used one of these bags on two holidays now, both snorkelling in the red sea. They are waterproof, I probably spent around 10 hours in the sea with one of these with my camera in, no water got through once. 3 lock system on the end of the bag. Like I said earlier though, try and get the case with the solid extension on the front rather than the flimsy one, picture quality is much better on the solid one.

wombat6025

These might say "waterproof" but I certainly wouldn't trust them underwater. For keeping splashes and sand off the camera they're fine. I have used cheap ( [Stupid new site cut off everything else I'd written - it keeps doing this which is why I hardly ever bother to comment on deals anymore.]

drbunsen

easy to do, i think expire and edit should be move more apart ! Have done it myself before today !

there is a video review in the link. it is a branded (jvc) one includes earphones (not great according to the review) but at least you wont have to wait too long for delivery unlike the one posted that probably ships from hong kong.

colesi

That £5 more, is it better?

zurich

you can get this one ]http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Bluetooth-Headphones/JVC/JVC-HA-W700BT-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headphones---iPhone-Compatible for £20.99 if you use the code jvc3

OMG I want one!!!! Hahaha, just watched the vids on youtube and it sent the cat crazy!!!!!

Dollar.Dollar.Yo

Not another thing I want but don't need!!! Thanks for this though - wanted to get one since I got to know about Meywa Denki. When I signed up to the site they gave me 100 dino points which seem to bring the price down to £26.65 - even cheaper!

ok. for me it is hot as I need a stand, game holders, and controler charger, If I was about to buy it all separately it would cost me much more......

GaryF

think the problem isnt that it cant be found cheaper, just that the product is a bit ****

werdas

why it is cold? as amazon price is £19.95 here is link to that stand at dinodirect: http://www.dinodirect.com/3-in-1-Holder-Stand-for-PS3-Slim-Console-Black/AFFID-33.html?cur=GBP itis a bit cheaper +you get a free gift
